Beautiful engine, too. :clap: :clap: :beer: --- End quote --- Thanks Steve! :beer: ........................... Happy with the head etc. I'm turning my attention to the other end, of this engine. There's something wrong........ :scratch: It's not the 'orribly designed crank throw. With the big end bearing hanging out in space. :loco: It's not the way the crankshaft ball races wobble, in their oversize housing. :palm: Shouldn't the flywheel, and cam, bosses, be level with the top of the pedestal casting? The top of the conrod, is a bit close to the cylinder......... But, there's rather more clearance, down here......... It's desaxe! :palm: Don't think that was a design feature! :scratch: The eccentrically cast flywheel, reminds me of a loco wheel....... Would this improve the looks, at all? Oh. Yes! ........ And, I've got a pair of 'em! Still have lots of work to do. And, all winter to do it...... David D |
